Miguel has sold his truck and bought a mule. Everyone in the village believes he is crazy, but Miguel follows a wisdom far greater than those that mock him. Miguel's neighbours, his dog and the strange neighbour with the burnt trees are about to learn the benefits of going slow. This short story is takes place amongst the olive groves of Andalusia. Miguel's desire to live the way he thinks the world may confound his neighbours, but his simple philosophy and way of life symbolise another path open to us all.
